Lathan Norton scored from second base on an overthrow at first as Lake Mary, Florida, rallied Sunday to beat Taiwan 2-1 in eight innings to claim the Little League World Series championship.
Taiwan clung to a 1-0 lead from the first inning until Florida’s last at-bat when DeMarcos Mieses delivered a crucial hit to tie the game.
This marks the first championship in nine tries for Florida, showcasing their resilience after coming from behind in their semifinal win over Texas.
Historically, Taiwan had a strong presence in the LLWS, winning 17 titles, but hadn't made it to the finals since 2009 before this game.
